Perez (thumb) seems the likely candidate to join the Indians, via activation off the disabled list, following Yan Gomes' shoulder injury Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Plain Dealer reports.
Perez's potential role with the club was unclear when he was sent on the rehab assignment, but he could see a decent amount of time behind the dish with Gomes sidelined for an extended period of time. Assuming his activation is the corresponding move Monday, he and Chris Gimenez could be in line to share the duties until Gomes returns, at which point the Indians would need to make a decision.
